This issue is really annoying (please read "pretty printers rule, just this
small bug creates a problem redering them kind ob useless").
The typical C++ developer (including me) declares a variable when it is
needed, not at the top of the function or method. So, with my Eclipse CDT
patched to enable the pretty printers for the MI variable objects, and having
code that often has local variables of types being associated with pretty
printers, the variables view often remains empty until the end of the method.
I have the impression that fixing this issue isn't possibly too complicated.
Would it be possible to provide such a patch? This would help to continue with
the work on Eclipse, and I could use the result for myself or anybody else who
can use a patched gdb, at least.
For Eclipse CDT, I tend to rate this bug as a blocking issue to really commit
the support for the pretty printers (besides the value that is provided by -
data-evaulate-expression), as there is no offical gdb version that would have
fixed that bug, and without the fix, the IDE is not behaving usefully.
This is to say, has this bug really "normal" severity?
